Symbiose puts all three of the Jura's red grapes (Pinot Noir, Trousseau and Poulsard) into one wine, and it does it the hard way: the grapes go into the vat together and ferment as one from the start, not as separate wines blended later. It comes from Château de Verreux, the house where former owner Joseph Girard came up with the idea for Arbois, which became France's first official AOC in 1936. The 2023 was destemmed, co-fermented and aged 10 months in used 400-litre barrels. Barrels that big and that old add polish, not an oaky flavour. The estate's approach is hands-off: no additives and no fining or filtration, all from 9 hectares farmed biodynamically to Demeter standards. In the glass it sits between the estate's single-grape bottlings, paler than its Trousseau and Pinot and a shade darker than its Poulsard, with a stronger Jura accent than any of them. If you're new to the region's reds, this is a smart first bottle because you get all three grapes in one pour. At 12.5% it's light on its feet, but the tannins mean it belongs at the dinner table.

"The 2023 Arbois Symbiose is a red blend of the three red varieties from Jura, Pinot Noir, Trousseau and Poulsard. They co-fermented destemmed, and the wine aged in used 400-liter barrels for 10 months. This is paler than the pure Trousseau and the Pinot, but it's slightly darker than the Poulsard, with more Jura character, faintly balsamic with some herbal notes and a fine patina from the oak and some tannins that called for food. It's balanced and pleasant. It comes in at 12.5% alcohol." —Luis Gutiérrez

More about Chateau De Verreux

Château de Verreux is a story of revival: the eighteenth-century house on the edge of Arbois was once home to Joseph Girard, the man who championed the Arbois appellation, often called the first AOC in France. After Girard's death the estate sat abandoned for decades. It's now a protected monument under restoration, and since 2023 wine is being made there again.

The project brings together Arbois native Vincent Richard, who founded it in 2021, winemaker Vincent Remillet, who spent more than a decade at Domaine du Pélican before joining, and Yann Greset. The roughly nine hectares sit on grey marls, limestone-rich clay full of marine fossils, which gives the wines freshness and a faint saline edge. Farming is biodynamic, with certification underway.

In the cellar the approach is light-handed: native-yeast fermentations, gentle macerations for the reds and very little sulfur. The range covers Arbois's five grapes one by one (Chardonnay, topped-up "ouillé" Savagnin, Pinot Noir, Poulsard and Trousseau) plus a blend called Symbiose. Expect bright, transparent wines that show the Jura's freshness rather than its oxidative side. It's a young estate with deep roots and one to watch.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast chicken with morels, Morteau sausage with lentils, duck breast with cherries, mushroom and Comté tart, pork loin with herbs.

Tasting Profile

Expect a pale, light-bodied Jura red with red cherry, redcurrant and wild strawberry, plus the region's savoury, earthy edge and a touch of peppery spice. Bright acidity and fine but noticeable tannins keep it fresh and food-friendly, while old, large barrels add texture rather than oak flavour. Think a lighter, wilder red Burgundy, finishing dry and gently savoury.
